WoW! That is AWESOME! The ending credits were the finishing touch on a cleansing of recent frustrations; laughter is the best medicine, thank you for sharing it. Now, if da Bears hire the guys that had skybox seats and NOT the guys swindled by bums, they might have a draft like your sig.

Dang, dude, the kUhL-aid vendor must be dry on your side of the stadium. Let's get that Bears' smile back.

Let's explore this viewpoint. You would fire Lovie at the end of this season. Note: We'll assume Lovie wins no play-off games because that would preclude the possibility of a firing. What would you suggest da Bears do after firing Lovie? Promote Ron Turner? Promote Dave Toub? Tell the Mink-Loving McCaskies to eat Lovie's contract and dip into the trust fund to pay Cowher? Please explain.

I can agree with starting Rex over Hanie as the ONLY option this week, but, a wise coach would keep a second half option open to show his team that he is committed to winning and EVERY position is accountable, especially given the history with Rex and his likely future elsewhere next season.

D'Ooooohhh...he lost another game for us during the week?!? Can the staff install a shocker instead of a mic in Rex's helmet and use it if he throws another jump-ball INT play?!? Alex Brown can NOT rush the passer alone! To compound the problem, the blitz packages are beyond ineffective. How can 8 guys be swallowed at the line? I must counter the company line and say I think the scheme is the problem. Would you really want to fire him now? Really?!? Patience, sir, Lovie should be allowed to remain at the helm until next season. If Babich is playing the babbling beeatch (defense is pathetic) at the end of the season, he should be fired and the clock starts ticking on the Zombie Malaise.

Are there really this many solid prospects at safety this year? and Taylor Mays It would certainly be a break for da Bears. IMO, da Bears should draft a safety to replace Paine so Paine can replace Brown and Brown can replace Babbles at DC. That move plus a D-Lineman who can find the QB would vastly improve the overall defense. Lastly, for the record, I agree about selecting Larry English, DE, Northern Illinois because he can make plays when he is the focus of opposing offenses.

Classic!

It should be noted this quote is from: Chalk Talk with Larry Mayer.

I ONLY saw Peanut trying to pull guys off the pile. Did anyone see him retaliate? All I saw was a player trying to assist his teammate who was being pounded on the head AND then piled upon by the other team. If someone knows of other actions taken by Peanut that would have deserved a flag, I would appreciate knowing it. Otherwise, it is my opinion that it is totally unjust/unreasonable to try to blame Peanut, especially considering the situation arose due to a parade of stupid actions by other members of the team and staff.

Thanks MadLith, Great detox post! Agreed. This applies to both deadbeats: Can someone please promise him he will be the next HC in line if Lovie falters?!? ...assuming Cower is busy. Can someone be brought in to help his development? ..we'll wake you if they do... To be fair to the players, the same fact applies to ALL positions that preparation and implementation begins with management flows to staff and guides the players and how their efforts integrate for the team effort and subsequent result. Hey guys, it's a boat, flip it over, THEN get in.

Agreed AND PLEASE make the new OC someone with NFL offensive experience, PLEASE!!! Assuming Lovie does NOT pull a Dickie-J and makes staff changes, IMO, he should stay 2 more years and build a SB contender or be fired.

Unless I missed something, Peanut came into the pile to try to assist his teammates and the refs made a horrible call by missing the true penalty. IMO, Peanut is one of the few players/staff of da Bears that is not an uninspired, unimaginative, and/or soulless oxygen thief.

WUL

Classic TT! Brutally funny! Ultimately, you've uncovered the PR plan for unveiling Orton as the starter:

Thank you, great post! I'd add that I do see the possibility that Hanie could refuse because a better offer materializes. It is certainly remote, but, it does exist. Furthermore, let's consider that losing him to another team is NOT a possibility, how much faster is his development as #3 QB vs. PS QB? The offense is currently auditioning for a starting QB into the third quarter of a pre-season game. I for one am NOT happy with our cheap-mart and worse book-ends at QB and would love to see continued efforts to improve the most important position on a football team.
